Keep track of your tax affairs all year long with the MyCRA mobile app

You have now filed your 2015 income tax and benefit return. Now you want to keep track of it all. Have you received your notice of assessment? Have you been issued a refund? Is your refund being sent via direct deposit or by mail? What is your new registered retirement savings plan deduction limit?

The answers to all these questions can be found easily with MyCRA, a web based mobile app from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). MyCRA puts all the key tax information you need at your fingertips.

You can use MyCRA to securely view personalized tax information such as your:

• notice of assessment
• income tax and benefit return status
• personalized benefit and credit information
• tax-free savings account and registered retirement savings plan contribution limits
• buy-back amounts for the Home Buyers’ Plan and the Lifelong Learning Plan

The app also lets you manage important information you have on file with the CRA, such as:

• your contact information (address, phone number)
• direct deposit information
• request a proof of income statement (Option C)

You can also register for online mail to receive email notifications when correspondence such as your notice of assessment, benefit and credit notices are available for viewing in My Account!

MyCRA can help you get your tax information whenever you want it. To take full advantage of MyCRA’s features, all you need to do is register with us and enter your CRA security code through any of the CRA's online services. Use MyCRA anytime, anywhere, on any mobile device with Internet access (standard data charges may apply).
